Root LG Tribute Stock ZV5 Deodexed & Unmodified [4.4.2]

I can't update the rom since I do not have this device. Someone will need to send me a TWRP backup of ZV5
 
Good news! I fixed my phone. Downside, a custom recovery is no longer possible due to the fact when it is installed, it reboots to it no matter what, leaving me at square 1. Oh well.

Can you please explain what you mean? Are you having a rom problem or a recovery problem?
 
I apologize. What happens is when i flash a custom recovery, it just keeps boot looping back to it. The only way i can fix it is by installing a boot img i got off of xda forums. And then i have no recovery. That is the mess i am currently stuck in right now. If you could help me, it would be appreciated!

I currently have a zv5 backup on hand right now but I'm unable to upload it as of now. I'll try and get it up when I can though. I'll also try and get the apks for you as well.

If your backup is unmodified ZV5, there will be no need to find the missing ZV4 apk's :)

This is really great guys, thanks for taking the time and work to start this for my beloved Tribute lol. You all deserve a freakin Medal of Honour :P
 
I can't wait for that Zv5 deodexed rom. It'll be soooo much better than what we have now! Thanks for everyone's hard work & collaboration!

Sent by my rooted & self debloated Tribute!
 
It would be helpful if you guys put together a list of the apps that should be removed from the deodexed rom. I do not own an LG device so I am not sure what LG apps are OK to remove. If not I will make a best guess lol
 
Since I did not get a list of apps to remove, I did what I said I would do and guessed.

Here is the deodexed, debloated, and rooted ZV5 rom. Let me know how it goes :)

Much appreciated! I have been waiting for this! I hope im not asking a lot, and i apologize if i am, but do you think you might do a custom kernel with overclock? Or fast charge?
